Making friends is hard xx

Making new friends as a mum for play dates or just new friends in a new area is so bloody hard! Kinda giving up but determined 🥹 Moved here in december and just can’t seem to make friends,i just want my 2 year old to have a social circle aswell! She does go to sing & sign but even then we struggle as the mums are in a hurry to leave afterwards 😔 Feeling so lonely,doesn’t help i moved away from friends & i walked away from family for my mental health 🥹❤️ xx

My manager text me whilst I was on holiday and now I'm worried. Can I go away during maternity leave?

I'm from the UK. I was on full pay for 30 weeks and now on SMP.

Mean Boyfriend

Has anyone experienced their boyfriend being mean to them during pregnancy. I fear he is starting to resent me because he’s the only one working rn

MIL & partner issues

So we’re in the middle of building an annex in the garden for my mil. I’m not really keen on the idea since we don’t have a loving joyful relationship. But I knew if I didn’t go along with it my partner would have resented me a little and we’ve already really struggled in our relationship. Plus I’ve just had a baby with a toddler at home and not in the space to deal with any of it. He’s just told me that if at any point in the future I decide it’s not working he would stay with his mum. And he was dead serious 🧐 THOUGHTS?

Betrayed and Alone

I’m posting anonymously because I feel embarrassed and alone, and I could really use some support from other moms.

I thought I was in a relationship with someone who was only dating me. Then another woman reached out, and I learned he had been involved with her too. They’re no longer together, but I still can’t move past the betrayal.

He asked me to move in with him several times. I tried, but I kept leaving because I never felt emotionally safe with him. Now I’m pregnant, and he still wants to see me and have sex with me, but he hasn’t come to any appointments or really acknowledged our baby.

He says he’s upset that I spoke to the other woman and that I mentioned moving to another state with the baby, where I’d have support. I’m alone where I live now, and I was trying to think about how I could manage.

I feel awful. I keep thinking that if I hadn’t gotten back together with him, I wouldn’t be pregnant and facing this alone. Has anyone else dealt with betrayal during pregnancy? How did you get through it?
